good morning world!

It was natural for Sen to be right beside him, on top of him, or in this case, right beneath Haiku. They were two peas in a pod, not quite twins but close enough to cause confusion if you glanced at them from the corner of your eye. The boys only backed off when Samara caved in to their demands and tails wagged even faster. Haiku grinned and leaned back onto his brother’s haunches as he wiggled through the space beneath his belly.

He visibly deflated at having rules to abide by, he was already on his paws and eager to be out of the door. Haiku listened obediently to what his father and mother had to say and nodded solemnly. He was impatient but at least they’d get to be back under the great blue sky. He was perplexed when he was told to go meet the ravens outside, but that was one order he would do with eagerness and huge paws carried him outside.

The two big ravens that accompanied his father were a big intimidating with their hard eyes and huge forms, but between them stood four much more manageable sized birds. He heeded his father’s instruction and sat back on his haunches as he stared in wonder at the young creatures. They were all beautiful, but almost immediately he caught the eye of the only all white fledgling. It didn’t approach but Haiku felt a connection. The boy looked over to the other ravens and his siblings as they approached.
